Mountain Thunder — John Legg

WITHSTANDING NATURE'S SAVAGERY...FACING THEIR MOST FEROCIOUS FOES...THEY WILL RISK ANYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF HONOR -- AND REVENGE

Fearless free trappers, daring survivors, Abe Rawlins, Ezra Early, and Lucien Chardonnais work the rugged high country of the southern Rockies, descending each spring to sell their rich bounty and spend their profits on a wild spree in Taos. This year Ban Adams, the young New York artist who -- thanks to Ezra Early -- found a home in the West, returns to winter camp with them to learn their deepest secrets.

But soon Adams's wilderness skills are sorely tested, and easygoing Abe Rawlins reveals his mountain grit and fighting colors. When Early and Chardonnais are seriously wounded, Adams and Rawlins must take a stand against both the raging elements and a ruthless foe who threatens their lives and their honor.
